Frequently asked questions
Will I also need an architect?
Our team of experienced designers include fully qualified RIBA architects so we can tailor our service and its cost to suit every project - the full Architectural Design service with the added value that we will see it through to the finished construction.
What sort of budgets do you work with?
Our projects have budgets starting in the region of £100,000. Some of our larger housing projects are in the multi-million pound. If you are looking at a smaller project, such as a bathroom redesign, then we're probably not going to be the best fit for you.
Why should we choose OakenStone?
Because our team will take personal expert care of your project from the day you first talk to us until the time you have settled into your newly built or improved home. View our short film explaining why people have chosen us.
